The benefits for using recycle fibers are multiple:

Benefits during cotton cultivation and production in conventional cotton vs. recycled cotton

• There is a 55% reduction in water consumption compared to conventional cotton during the cotton cultivation and production.
• 35% reduction in greenhouse gas and CO² emissions.
• 62% less energy consumption than conventional cotton.
• Conventional cotton uses about 16% of the world’s insecticides and 7% of pesticides.

Pros for using recycled polyester (from plastic bottles)

• The energy needed to make the rPET is less than what is needed to make the virgin polyester.
• Recycling PET to create the fabrics prevents it from going to landfills or oceans.
• Using more recycled polyester reduces our dependence on virgin petroleum as a raw material.
• Fabrics created from recycled polyester can be recycled again and again with no degradation of quality, allowing us to minimize wastage.
